    it depends on whether you'd use the vouchers for something else? i always trade mine before christmas for goldsmiths vouchers which have been 4x the value :T but last year they were 3x the value :eek:
    have a check around on the cc site to see if there is anywhere else you would gain more from :)

    We saved them all the other year and bought our wedding rings with them :j from Goldsmiths they were fab and saved us a fortune, i've looked on Goldsmith and there is a lovely necklace that is £500 but I know a few months ago it was in the sale at £250 so it's put me off a bit :cool:. If most of them werent running out Feb/May next year then I would probably wait as we dont need the freezer right not but my thinking is with the boost that we would kinda get it free which we would probably need to buy at some point next year and I guess larder freezers seldom come down below £250 hmmm :cool:

    Just an incy wincy question, please. I found a sada womble today, if I want to check if any of the items are due cash back do I put every item number individually on the bar-code generator site to see what each item is and then look on each of the cash back sites? It seems an arduous task!
    There are a lot of items on the receipt and gave an apg of £2.72. I will try and upload it in case it's useful to someone.
    Thank you if you are able to help.

    When you put the receipt in the APG, a description of each item will be on the results. Usually enough information here for you to check items. There should only be rare occasions you need to look barcodes up

    are the udi's nice? i can see them online to order but have never managed to find where they are in store to check the price :o thanks :)
    Sorry - no idea. They have been subbed everytime :rotfl: Today we had gluten free yum yums.

    In my store all the gluten free products are in the cereal aisle. I haven't seen anyone say they were charged full price yet - maybe stick one in a HD or cc to test?

    my boys eat anything but dont like the udis. luckily a lot of mine have been subbed and they liked the bagels, and the granola bars are really nice, but the pop tarts they got are there favourite but are being rationed to 2 a week:D

    Hi Josie,

    I just had a quick check on TCB, Quidco and MSL......I haven't ventured into shopitise yet

    You'll get the drift once you've checked through what's available. I'm basically looking for Activias,actimels, various lagers...I jotted down a few things as I was looking through each one.

    I'm a bit new to this too....maybe we can find our way through it together:)

    Sometimes you can get interesting receipts - eg the baby food and cleaners one I had - then its worth copying and pasting the entire list - if you have missed anything that is suitable for cashback then someone is bound to spot it :)

    I've found Asda milk on 3 receipts today - I think I am going to cut the barcode off my milk bottle and save it for future usage :)

    i don't know if you have a goldsmiths boutique near you but they have different stuff in to normal goldsmiths ;) they have michael kors, adidas, guess, d&g, dkny & many more designer watches & jewellery :) the last year i got 4 watches, a bracelet & a necklace for £330 so £110 in cc points :T:T:T

    If you have vouchers due to expire you could always buy something from direct and then return it, the points would then be credited but go on to the next quarters statement . I have done this a couple times to extend the life of the vouchers when saving them up :)

    Thank you for reply, on the receipt it doesn't give full description of what the item is ie ice, fresh soup, brown 400g, cheese, bold, etc. How on earth are we to work out what they are, or is it just me.:o
    I bet you work it out quicker than me:rotfl:

    Evening.

    Rhosynbach, I know it's prob too late now but if the relax radox duck is in the 2 for 8 it's a trigger too. They didn't have any in my a and it was subbed for another one but the APG was fine. But as they didn't have any I couldn't be sure it was in the offer. No-one has replied to say if it is in the offer, guess they aren't bothered to look as Aussie trigger confirmed. :( hth someone but think only for a couple days as t offer goes soon I believe.

    thanks for helping I may give it a go tomorrow :D as my store has those..
